Sarah Churchwell, Guardian
'Lila is the work of an exceptional novelist at the peak of her capacity'
Rowan Williams, New Statesman
'A sumptuous, graceful, and ultimately life-affirming novel'
James Kidd, Independent on Sunday
'Great and luminous beauty . . . a book that leaves the reader feeling what can only be called exaltation'
Neel Mukherjee, Independent
